The Geora Founders Digital Residency was created for exactly these kinds of people. Developed by Geora Capital, the program is a twelve-week online residency that supports early-stage founders turning meaningful ideas into measurable impact. It is not a traditional accelerator. It is a living ecosystem — a place where purpose-driven entrepreneurs gain access to mentorship, investor networks, and potential early-stage funding while becoming part of a community shaping the regenerative economy of tomorrow.
The Founders Digital Residency is built around a simple idea: that capital should serve life, not the other way around. Geora invests in founders who restore rather than extract value — who see innovation not as disruption, but as regeneration. The Residency reflects this belief by bringing together projects rooted in ecology, inclusion, and local ownership, and connecting them with the expertise and tools needed to scale responsibly.
Participants in the program work closely with experienced mentors, investors, and other founders who have built successful, impact-driven ventures across Asia and beyond. Throughout the twelve weeks, they refine their business models, strengthen their value propositions, and prepare for investor readiness. Those who complete the program will have the opportunity to present their ventures at the Founder Showcase, where selected startups may be considered for incubation or pre-seed investment through Geora’s venture building initiatives.
The program welcomes entrepreneurs from a wide range of industries — from climate and circular economy innovations to food systems, agriculture, digital infrastructure, and creative enterprises that preserve cultural heritage. Whether it’s a blockchain solution for sustainable trade, a regenerative agriculture network, or a platform reviving traditional craftsmanship through technology, what matters most is the founder’s commitment to creating a company that gives more than it takes.
Behind the Geora Founders Digital Residency lies a larger vision. Geora Capital is part of a growing movement to redefine how capital works — linking finance, ecology, and culture into a single regenerative framework. Through the Heritage Fund and its network of partners, Geora channels investment into businesses that are not only profitable but restorative, proving that growth and responsibility can coexist.
For founders, joining the Residency means becoming part of this vision. It means entering a network of peers and mentors who share the belief that the future of enterprise lies in collaboration, equity, and care for the world we build upon. It is a call to action for those who are ready to lead with purpose, to transform ideas into living systems that endure.
Applications for the next Geora Founders Digital Residency are now open. Founders ready to take their ideas to the next stage can learn more and apply at georacap.com/founders. Because the future doesn’t wait — and neither should you.
